^{10 Ref} For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

^{11 Ref} But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

^{9 Ref} Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

^{10 Ref} For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.

^{11 Ref} But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should release Barabbas to them instead.

^{12 Ref} Pilate again asked them, "What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"

¹³ They cried out again, "Crucify him!"

^{14 Ref} Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they cried out exceedingly, "Crucify him!"
